The Bears-Packers rivalry, usually at its best during the fall, got spicy in mid-March on Friday.

The drama lasted about three hours.

That is the amount of time it took the Bears to match an offer sheet Kyle Fuller signed with the Packers, keeping the former first-round draft pick in place with what is now a long-term deal.

Fuller was at the center of a showdown between NFC North foes vying for his services. The Bears, who had until Wednesday to make a decision, made their intentions known quickly, matching what is a four-year contract ptenitally worth $56 million that will pay him $20 million in the first year.
